The Same

In all these years I've tried so hard to hide a lie, to live a life.
And now I can, but don't understand how I feel inside.
I hate myself for deceiving them.
I love the choice that finally came.
I feel happy when I'm there, I feel whole again.
And then I'm around those I love;
I wonder if they would feel the same, if they knew my truths.
That I'm living a lie.
Would my grandparents still love me?
Would my father still be proud?
I hate myself for being different.
For wanting to say my prayers out loud.
Would they understand that I'm the same?
Would they understand I haven't changed?
I've always been this way.

I'm a junior in college who enjoys writing, but is of all things a biology major. I love snowboarding, white water rafting, and traveling!  View profile
